All checks drawn on county depositories must be signed by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, attested by the Clerk, and affixed with the county seal. The Clerk is responsible for ensuring that these expenditures are legal. When using funds designated for specific purposes, such as proceeds from bond issues, grants, and tax revenues for specific programs, there may be areas that are not clearly defined by statute or agreement. It is the role of the Clerk to interpret these documents objectively and then evaluate the appropriateness of the expenditure, in accordance with Florida Statutes. In short, as the watchdog of county funds, the Clerk is personally liable for the legitimacy and accuracy of Putnam County's expenditures.
